Dear Teacher Rachael-Alice,

Thank you for your classes for more than one year, I learned a lot about English speaking and grammar. Because the school will have classes on Sunday of the 9th grade in next semester, so we cannot continue your course. I feel sorry for that. Thank you very much! Wish you health and happiness!

Testimonials

It was my pleasure to have class with you. It's best time I ever had. Thank you,my dear Rachael.Happy new year---Edison

I recommend Rachael as an English teacher because she is very patient with my daughter and has lots of energy, games, songs and dialogues with puppets to focus her attention; she always switches between activities, so the lesson never gets too long for her. D. from Bogota, Columbia

At some certain point I figured out how it's essential to master my English. The personal motivation was enormously high, but considering serious lack of time to attend conventional English classes, I began to look for other solutions. Eventually I found an online language school, www.live-english.net, which, definitely, was appropriate for me. At this time I started to take online English classes with Rachael. Immediately I realized that she is the teacher, who I was looking for. Firstly, she is a native English speaker which is absolutely required for good results. She was available in convenient hours. I decided that my primary target point was conversations, in order to improve my understanding and speaking skills. Once again, I am sure, that native speaker teacher is a crucial point. Rachael during every single lesson carefully and scrupulously corrected all my phrases and sentences. So, I had a perfect opportunity to speak and really use the language, but at the same time, she made it right and totally correct. I was always able to review our lessons saved on Skype again and again. Furthermore, I have to notice that our conversations were exceptionally interesting, we varied the topics in order make it more natural. Rachael’s classes were extremely efficient, interesting and never boring and I am more than grateful for having Rachael as my teacher. Now I can strongly recommend Rachael as a perfect teacher for everyone who is seeking for substantial results and the quickest progress.

Dear Rachael, because of your help in studying for the IELTS, I am already studying at Portsmouth University, majoring in Civil Engineering! You helped me so much on the speaking part of the IELTS practicing on Skype! Burak Dogan - Turkey

To improve my spoken English I contacted Live-English. There were many English teachers but I decided to try with Rachael. As it turned out it was a right choice for me. She is a great teacher with a lot of experience. At the beginning I was too shy to communicate with people in English, especially with native speakers, but Rachael made me speak. We had a lot of topics to discuss and during our lessons Rachael helped me to improve my pronunciation and my vocabulary. It was unnecessary to study words by repeating them, they just went inside of my head. It is like watching a movie or reality show in English and at the same time you can stop and ask the meaning. In addition, Rachael helped me to improve my writing skills by explaining how to put words in the sentences. Besides, Rachael is a great person and all our lessons by Skype were very interesting and gave me a lot of positive emotions and each 45 minutes were like one moment. As a result, I have overcome the language barrier which helps me a lot at my work where English is the only language for communication.Thank you, Rachael!Olga, Russia
